  • Be very careful poking vacuum cleaner nozzles inside PCs. The nozzles build up a static charge which can damage some components, especially RAM. I know from experience!

    I have a new found distrust for PC repair shops, that includes the high street shops too......

    Firstly I have a friend who used to work for one, the other staff did things like posting customers "personal" photos to dodgy websites.

    I also tracked down a fake dating website that used stolen photos from various sources (like my ex-GFs Facebook) to create fake dating profiles, in order suck in and fleece desperate singletons. The photo theft was bad enough, but the site was owned by a computer repair shop. I phoned this shop and the guy on the other end was sh*tting bricks, he clearly had no idea how easy it is to track people down over the internet.


    we should be grateful for the staff at PCWorld (did I say that?) , without which , a Mr Gary Glitter would still be walking the streets
